Ingredients for Buttery Waffles

• Eggs– Eggs provide hydration to the recipe, bind the ingredients together, and aide in rising the waffle mix during cooking.
• All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the basis for the recipe, and provides shape, substance, and structure to the waffles.
• Milk– Milk liquifies the waffle batter and helps to make the waffles more crisp and light.
• Avocado Oil– The oil helps the waffles to be more crispy and airy. It also helps prevent the waffles from sticking to the waffle maker.
• Butter– Butter creates a delicious flavor for these waffles while also ensuring they are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
• Maple Syrup– I use real maple syrup instead of granulated sugar in this recipe because maple syrup has more nutritional benefit than sugar.
• Baking Powder– Baking powder acts as a leavening agent, but also provides the cooked waffles with an airiness so that they will not be dense.
• Salt– Salt enhances the flavor of a recipe, but also brings out the flavor of the other ingredients.

Make Buttery Waffles in 3 Easy Steps

1. Preheat waffle iron– Set waffle iron to 4 or 5.
2. Combine ingredients– Combine the wet ingredients, and then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
3. Cook waffles– If needed, spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray, otherwise, pour half cup of batter onto waffle iron. Cook for about 5 minutes. Your waffle iron will let you know when it is done. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Enjoy!

Variations for Buttery Waffles

• Buttermilk– Buttermilk can be substituted for milk. It helps to make the waffles more moist and fluffy.
• Berry Syrups– There are a variety of berry syrups that you can use on top of your waffles, such as strawberry and blueberry.
• Apple Butter– This is like a thickened applesauce and more like an apple preserve that you can spread on your crispy waffles.
• Caramel Syrup– If you like sweet waffles, try caramel syrup to bring it up a notch!
• Peanut Butter– Peanut butter is delicious for those who don’t prefer sweet waffles, and add an extra bit of protein to the meal.
• Nutella– Nutella is delicious on top of waffles and has a chocolatey hazelnut flavor.
• Chocolate Chips– Everyone loves chocolate, and these chips can add a little crunch to each bite. You can also add the chocolate chips to the batter and cook them with the chocolate chips.

• Banana– Slice up a banana and serve it on top of your waffle. It would also taste good with peanut butter as well!

• Nuts– Add almond slices, walnuts, or pecans for a nice crunch!
